Senator Peter Welch co-introduced legislation (the Temporary Immigration Judge Integrity Act) designed to prevent inexperienced temporary immigration judge appointments, directly addressing his campaign promise and showing clear legislative effort. However, no evidence indicates that this legislation was enacted or that the promised outcome was delivered. Therefore, the promise is marked as 'never' fulfilled, but effort is recognized.
